When the remnants of the army ambushed by the Zhao army were defeated and fled back to Yi County, the imaginary scene of thousands of troops besieging the city was gone. Instead, the city was full of soldiers standing on the walls. The people who had been trapped for a long time came out of the city gate and rushed back to their homes on the outskirts to count the damage. And some wealthy people also began to drive their vehicles, anxiously urging their families to get on the road and leave this place of right and wrong. So now they are going into the city, and it is very difficult to walk.

Handing over the token, this time he was not hindered, and rode straight to the county magistrate's mansion and informed the county magistrate of Yi County what he had seen and heard.

In other words, this Yixian county order, although he is from Yan State, but coincidentally, his top boss just didn't deal with his brother in the sub-period. Because his immediate boss is called the city quilt.

City Quilt, the general of Yan State, although from a humble background, but with good military training, he is quite appreciated by King Yan, and this encouragement makes City Quilt more loyal to the Yan royal family. Therefore, above the court, he is also the main force against the forces of the son.

"Are you saying that after Zhao Guoren left Yi County, they appeared in Shanggu Pass, and they may attack there at any time?"

"This..."Du Wei thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Although there is no specific evidence, it seems that the Zhao army has an intention to attack Shanggu Pass. ”

"However, General Ziqi's meaning seems to be to drive the Zhao army to the southwest, and prepare to surround this Zhao army in Spoon Liang?"

"Yes." Du Wei came from the sub-period army, of course, he knew that the sub-period asked him to come to Yixian to report the news, just to convey this meaning.

"Gee, that's going to be a tough one." The county commander groaned slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "If it is according to the general's order, we should cooperate with the general to organize soldiers to drive the Zhao army to the southwest." But since the Zhao army is trying to attack Shanggu Pass, this is preparing to return to Zhao from Shanggu Pass in the north. It's really embarrassing. As he spoke, he looked at the lieutenant with a little helplessness.

"This... I think that since the general asked me to wait for Zhao Jun to rush to Shaoliang, he should have his own considerations. It is said that they also set out from Hongshangsai, passed through Tang County to Shaoliang, surrounded the Zhao army, and attempted to kill the enemy in a battle. ”

The county commander frowned slightly, obviously very sensitive to this "killing the enemy in a battle", and after thinking for a while, he said to the captain: "That's the case, you can report to the general about the matter here, why don't you go and notify the troops who have come to reinforce and rush to Shaoliang, and a certain organization of soldiers to reinforce Shangguguan, how about it?" ”

The lieutenant was slightly stunned, and the corners of his mouth smiled, sure enough, it was the way of heaven, and the retribution was unhappy, so he said to the county order, "Why don't you notify the other troops of the county order, and Lone will lead the soldiers to Shangguguan for reinforcements, how about it?" ”

The county commander frowned, and his heart blossomed, but he didn't expect the black pot to come so quickly, so he happily agreed to the captain's request, instructed him, and let him leave.

"Who said that I didn't cooperate with your actions, General Ziji, I can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. Each for his own master. As he spoke, he looked at the back of the other party leaving, turned around and walked into the inner room.

The lieutenant received the order of the county order to reinforce Shanggusai, naturally in order to avenge the humiliation, all of which are here, regardless of the moment, just say that Zhao Xi led all the cavalry of Zhao State, waiting for the siege troops withdrawn from Yi County to turn, after repairing for half a day, they rushed to Tang County non-stop.

In fact, he didn't plan to attack Shanggu at all, his idea was to return the same way, first attack Spoon Liang, attract the pursuers to come and surround him, and then go north, returning to Zhao from Lingwu in the original way. And the purpose of the false shot on Ueya's side is to create an illusion that he is ready to return from Ueya.

However, marching to war is like a gamble, some people bet right, others bet wrong. If there were spy satellites at this time, Zhao Xi would rather choose to return to Zhao from storming Shangguguan than playing some tricks. And Sima Cheng should celebrate his luck, he did accurately foresee Zhao Jun's actions, and he was already ready to recover some interest for the failure of Turbid Deer City.

Therefore, when Zhao Xi came to the city of Shaoliang and heard that a large number of local cavalry had appeared in front of him, he knew that he had made a bad move this time.

"General, what should I do?" Before he could speak, the lieutenant beside him hurriedly asked. Now the situation is clear, to live or to die.

"Alas, the old man miscalculated." Zhao Xi stroked his beard and kept a calm appearance, but in his words, he was still a little lonely, "The old man thought that when the other party heard that our army was attacking Yi County, the emergency reinforcements would definitely go to Guguan, so that our return army to attack the southwest must be safe." However, the other side was not only cautious, but also very bold, and fought against us, completely ignoring their own logistical baggage. Hehe, this is really an outlaw. ”

When the lieutenant heard this, General Zhao would still praise the opponent, either he was crazy, or he still had a backhand.

"So, are we going south?" The lieutenant asked.

"No need." Zhao Xi shook his head and said, "The meaning of going south is to attract the judgment of the other party, if you go south at this moment, it will undoubtedly commit suicide, and if you go north, it will also be a blunt knife to cut meat, and it is not worth it to be forced by the other party step by step, and it will be eaten away step by step." ”

"Well, listen to you, it seems to..."

"Huh." Zhao Xi smiled faintly and said loudly: "Pass my order, and the whole army will repair immediately." ”

As the heralds gradually conveyed, the slow pace of the Zhao army completely stopped, only this time, they changed the road and changed the plan. After the Zhao army entered the Yan country and transited, it has been fighting to feed the war, Zhao Xi ordered everyone to eat and drink on the spot immediately, and after a meal, the whole army marched to Spoon Liang City.

Outside the city of Spoon Liang, Zi Qi and Sima Cheng, who had already received the news, looked at each other and smiled, and Zi Qi said: "Sure enough, as Xiang Bang said, Zhao Jun is really preparing to return from the same way, and Spoon Liang is the core of their strategy." ”

"Haha, the general is overrated. In this case, it is better to take advantage of the fact that when the Zhao army is burying the pot and cooking, our army will come by surprise, and we will definitely be able to reap a big victory. Sima Cheng said.

"No, no, no, Xiangbang is a little restless." Ziqi shook his head, "Zhao Jun is already my caged bird, one more moment, one less moment, it doesn't matter." Besides, the other party has always been good at taking risks, and at this moment, he is actually burying the pot and cooking, if there is no conspiracy, it is absolutely impossible. ”

Sima Xun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What does the general mean is that the other party has a conspiracy?" ”

"If there is no conspiracy, there is absolutely no such thing as burying a pot in front of the army. Now it is not the past, the law of etiquette, if you find a flaw, it is definitely an attack. And the other party knows that our army is coming in an instant, and still dares to do this, you say, isn't it too strange? ”

After hearing this, Sima Xun was silent, and then said to Ziqi: "In this case, I might as well go and investigate for a while, if there is really a conspiracy, I can also be a general for a while." ”

I don't know what he thinks in his heart, it must be that Sima Cheng doesn't believe in himself, and he makes it clear that he wants to go to the battle first. In fact, he really has no selfish intentions, but he has been cautious all his life, and Zhao Xi's trick is false and real, so that it really makes him a little confused. After all, if something goes wrong, it's a demon. The net has already been laid out, and Zhao Jun can't escape, so why bother?

"In this case, it is better to lead the Zhongshan soldiers back to the right flank of the Zhao army to prevent the Zhao army from fleeing north."

When Sima Xun heard this, this point was reasonable, so he ordered all the soldiers and horses of his headquarters and went to the right flank of the Zhao army to maneuver to prevent Zhao Xi from fleeing north.

Looking at the back of Sima Cheng leaving, Ziqi sneered and said to himself: "If Zhao Jun flees north, I will have to trouble you a lot." "It is very clear that Zhongshan is Zhongshan, Yan is Yan, and it is beneficial to Yan to retain a strong Zhao State, and a strong Daijun is a powerful threat to Zhongshan.

"Forget it, the meaning is good, as long as it hurts Zhao Guo, let them go north." The sub-period thought.

The sub-period, who lived in more than 300 years BC, must not know that about a hundred years behind him, a country called Han, when attacking another Zhao country, his commander Han Xin violated the taboo of the military family and put out a backwater formation to lure the Zhao army to attack, and the general of the Zhao army, Chen Yu, laughed at Han Xin's lack of understanding of the art of war and violated the taboo of the soldiers, so he was lured out of the pass to meet the enemy, and Han Xin's ambushed light cavalry attacked the opponent's base camp and defeated the Zhao army. So there is a well-known idiom that fights against the water.

And although Zhao Xi doesn't know this story, he knows what kind of army he leads. The reason why he dared to cook was not because of any conspiracy, but because now that he was in a desperate situation, it was better to fight to the death than to think of any superfluous way out.

He walked among the soldiers and watched them gobble up, knowing that the continuous fighting in the past few days had exhausted too much of their energy, and it was not easy to seize this short time to repair.

"Someone, bring me a glass of water!" Zhao Xi said to the lieutenant behind him.

"Yes." The adjutant next to him was a little puzzled and didn't know what he was going to do, but he still carried out the order.

The water was brought over, Zhao Xi walked among the soldiers, looked at the soldiers who looked a little ignorant, put his hands on him, and said loudly: "Everyone listen." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers who were gobbling up their heads one after another, looking at his strange behavior, a little confused.

"I, Zhao Guonan, have never lacked courage. Even on the day when the city was besieged by the Wei State, he resisted to the death and never had any reason to surrender. This is because Zhao Guoren does not have the word 'surrender' in their bones. ”

"Fellow comrades, I went out with me to conquer Zhao State, and I was tired for a few days. However, there were enemy troops waiting for me in front, and Yi Shui cut off my way later, and there were many pursuers who came to cover up and kill in an instant. This is the time of life and death! ”

He didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he finished speaking, some soldiers realized what kind of situation they were facing, and their hands shook involuntarily.

"However, military law says, 'Throw yourself into the place of death and then survive, and fall into the place of death and then live.'" Today, there is no such thing as a desperate situation, and only fearless momentum can crush the enemy, break out of the encirclement, and return to our homeland. ”

"Here, the old man will take a bowl of white water with this easy water for the time being, and I wish you all to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and when you return to Zhao Kingdom, you will definitely be rewarded!"

Hearing "Back home, there are many rewards" everyone's just extinguished survival ** was instantly ignited. They knew that it was useless to say anything at this time and now, and that only by fighting to the death could they gain something, so they ate much faster, seized the time to repair their war preparations, and prepared for battle.

"The military heart is available." Zhao Xi said, then looked at the spoon beam, and said lightly, "Then let's fight to the death." ”
